A face in the life of Kate Moss: The coarsening effect of drink, drugs and non-stop partying

2011: Looking 37 going on 47, Kate is now busy preparing for her July wedding to Jamie Hince.

How she is dressed on the big day will be a surprise, but one thing is certain: she’ll be almost unrecognisable from the fresh-faced 17-year-old that she was 20 years ago when she posed in that early shoot for Brides magazine.
